Cooking Modes

Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below.
Refer to the Cooking Guide section for recommendations for specific foods. Remember, your new oven may perform
differently than the oven it is replacing.
Baking and Roasting Modes
Select a mode for baking and roasting based on the
type and quantity of food you are preparing. When
preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies, and
pastries always preheat the oven first. Follow recipe
recommendations for food placement. If no guidelines
are provided, center food in the oven.
Traditional Bake
The traditional bake mode is intended for single rack
cooking. This mode uses heat primarily from the lower
element but also from the upper element to cook
food. To use this mode press the Bake pad, enter
a temperature, and then press Start. Preheating is
generally recommended when using this mode.
Convection Bake (upper only on double
oven models)
The Convection Bake mode is intended for baking on
multiple racks at the same time. This mode uses heat
primarily from the rear element but also heat from the
upper and lower elements, along with air movement
from the convection fan to enhance cooking evenness.
Your oven is equipped with Auto Recipe Conversion,
so it is not necessary to convert the temperature when
using this mode. Baking time might be slightly longer for
multiple racks than what would be expected for a single
rack. To use this mode press the Convection pad, then
select Convection Bake, enter a temperature, and then
press Start. Always preheat when using this mode.
Convection Roast (upper only on double
oven models)
The Convection Roast mode is intended for roasting
whole cuts of meat on a single rack. This mode uses
heat from the lower, upper, and rear elements along
with air movement from the convection fan to improve
browning and reduce cooking time. It is not necessary to
convert temperature. Check food earlier than the recipe
suggested time when using this mode or use a meat
probe. To use this mode press the Convection pad,
then select Convection Roast, enter a temperature, and
then press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when
using this mode.

Broiling Modes
Always broil with the door closed. The broil element in
this oven is very powerful. Monitor food closely while
broiling. Use caution when broiling on upper rack
positions as placing food closer to the broil element
increases smoking, spattering, and the possibility of fats
igniting. For best performance center food below the broil
heating element. Broiling on rack position 6, in single
and lower cavities, is not recommended.
Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust
rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the
food. Place foods closer to the broil element when a
seared surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods
and foods that need to be cooked through should be
broiled on a rack position farther from the broiler or by
using Broil Lo.
Broil Hi
The Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the upper
element to sear foods. Use Broil Hi for thinner cuts of
meat and/or foods you prefer less done on the interior.
To use this mode press the Broil pad, then select Hi
Broil, and press Start. It is not necessary to preheat
when using this mode.
Broil Lo
The Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat from the upper
element to cook food thoroughly while also producing
surface browning. Use Broil Lo for thicker cuts of meat
and/or foods that you would like cooked all the way
through. To use this mode press the Broil pad, then
select Lo Broil, and press Start. It is not necessary to
preheat when using this mode.
Proof
Proof mode is designed for rising (fermenting and
proofing) bread doughs. In some models, Proof is found
by selecting Options. Press Proof and then press Start.
Cover dough well to prevent drying out. Bread will rise
more rapidly than at room temperature. Note that for
double wall ovens, proof can not be run when running a
clean mode in the lower oven.
Warm
Warm mode is designed to keep hot foods hot for up to
3 hours. In some models, Warm is found by selecting
Options. Press Warm and then press Start. Cover
foods that need to remain moist and do not cover foods
that should be crisp. Preheating is not required. Do not
use warm to heat cold food other than crisping crackers,
chips or dry cereal. It is also recommended that food not
be kept warm for more than 2 hours.
